Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

4 Juni - Customs

I ordered some books from the US Amazon a few weeks ago and yesterday got that notice in the mail about a package to come pick up at customs.  Such a strange place... it was past town, past all this construction, down this road that looked like a shipping yard.  I showed the person at the desk the letter I got and he brings out the package in this giant white poofy bag and asks me what is inside.  I told him books.  So he goes ahead and opens it and looks at each book... holds Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies, up to the other person and they said something in German and giggled.   Then seals the box back up and puts it back in the bag and seals that up with duct tape too.  I told him he could keep the bag and he said no, that I had to take it.   I asked if I had to come there every time I got a package from the US and he said yes.  Just weird.

In other news... I found a health food store in town and they sell cheddar cheese!

Tonight we reorganized the room so that Skylar's stuff is on his side of the room next to his side of the bed and mine on mine.  Soon we'll be putting a line of tape down the middle :)
